James Selden Cowden, with his attorney, Horace L.\Stiles, yesterday calied upon the third gssfgtant postmaster general in ref- erencg to the adoption of a “domestic re- ply envelape,” a recent invention of Mr. Cowden. The object was to secure the ap- proval of the Post Office Department for its immediate use, but the law will have to be changed before that can be granted, as the scheme contemplates the payment of the postage on such proprietary envelopes at the office of delivery in due stamps, as at present, in case of excess postage. The third assistant postmaster gereral stated to Messrs. Stiles and Cowden that the idea seemed practicable. Wiliam Carpenter fell. or jumped from the fourth story window of his home on soratngelde avenue, New York, late Mon- day night and will probably die, He says he does not know how he got out of the window. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Arrest of 0. M, Wilkinson, a Recreant Hns- band, on Grave Charge. Transfers of Real Estate—Stolen Bi- cycle Discovered — Members of Light Infantry Dismissed. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street Gell telephone No. 106), ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 16, 1897. C. W. Wilkinson was arrested by Officer Atkinson yesterday afternoon, charged with living in adultery with the daughter of Mrs. Jessie Robinson in a house on Lower Prince street. The arrest was th> result of a complaint of Wilkinson's wife, who came here from Forestville, Md., yes- terday, and asked the authorities to locate her husband for her. The case was called in the police court this morning, and the officer making the arrest told what he knew of the affair, the developments being of a shocking char- acter. Wife No. 2, it is said, confessed that she had not been married to Wilkin- sen, but admitted that the baby found at the house by the officer was hers, and stated that Wilkinson was its fathex. Mrs. Wilkinsen No. 1 left for her home in Forestville, Md., yesterday afternoon, and did not testify in court against her husband. Overseer of the Poor Shoch stated Wilkinson and the Robinson woman had beer a charge on the city for the past several months. = In summing up the case, Mayor Simpson said the parties implicated were so thor- oughly ignorant of its gravity that he hardly thought moralizing would be of benefit. He thought it best to separate them, so he sent Wilkinson to the work- house for thirty days under the vagrant act, and ordered that Mrs. Robinson and her daughter return at once to their home in Maryland or suffer a penalty. It will be remembered that Mr. A. M. Robinson of Montgomery county, Mary- land, came to this city Sunday in search of his mother and sister, and they were locat- ed for him by Sergt. Smith. They promised the son that they would return home. Mrs. Robinson, it appears, left her home some months ago without the consent of her husband. Wilkinson at one time worked on the farm of Mr. Robinson, and it was there that the intimacy with the daughter is said to have commenced. The Robinson girl was grief-stricken when her lover was sentenced to the work house. The mayor gave orders that the woman should not be allowed to see Wilkinson at the work house. County Real Estate.
